Description
Overview of the Echo PB-8010T
The Echo PB-8010T
- Power: The PB-8010T gas-powered blower, manufactured by Echo, is rated for a max air volume of 1071 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and a max air speed of 211 MPH.
- Handling: Like most backpack blowers, this model is technically heavier than a handheld. That being said, it can feel lighter and more comfortable because of the way it is carried, even when used over extended periods of time. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows you to keep your left hand free. Be aware that, at 24.5 lbs, the Echo PB-8010T is on the heavier side of gas-powered backpack blowers.
- Engine: This blower's engine has a displacement specification of 79.9cc. Since this is a 2-stroke engine, it’s important to remember that the PB-8010T cannot run on gasoline alone. The fuel must be mixed with an appropriate ratio of gasoline and oil in order for it to function properly (for this Echo model, this ratio is 50:1).
- Speed Settings: Thanks to its variable speed settings, the Echo PB-8010T allows precise control of the air output.
- Noise: Its noise rating of 79.3 dB can be considered the standard for similar gas-powered backpack blowers.
- Fuel Tank: The fuel tank is well above average for a backpack blower – its capacity maxes out at 83.8 fl. oz.

The Echo PB-8010T's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Echo PB-8010T compare with similar leaf blowers.
- Upon exiting the nozzle, the air can reach speeds of up to 211 MPH, which is pretty much what is to be expected for gas-powered backpack blowers. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the Husqvarna 150BT and its 270 MPH could be an option to consider.
- If air volume is an important feature, the PB-8010T by Echo will not disappoint. Its airflow maxes out at 1071 CFM (cubic feet per minute), which is more powerful than most gas-powered backpack blowers. If air volume is important to you, the Echo PB-9010T, with 1110 CFM, could be in your good books.
Here's a list of the most popular specific comparisons:
The bottom line

Most powerful backpack blower I’ve ever touched!
Starts right up. Nice size gas tank. No other blower will move leaves and debris like this blower! NO OTHER!!! you will not be sorry you purchased this blower. I was always a Br600 Stihl fan not any more, its wimpy compared to this blower.
I’ve used this blower for two seasons now. We live on a heavily wooded piece of property, and try to keep the two acres surrounding our house clear of leaves. I’ve owned a few blowers, and nothing beats the 8010T. Period. The power, air volume and dependability (minimal maintenance + one stroke start) can’t be beat. I’ve used this for spring and fall this year for eight hour days / one week at a time, and it simply makes short work out of big jobs. YOU MUST wear hearing protection. No way around it when you’re strapping a 79.9 cc two stroke motor to your shoulders.
I own Stihl everything.. except my backpack blower. This unit blows its competitors away. Im very impressed with its power. Fuel capacity is nice. Fan on my back is like sprinkles on the ice cream sundae.
bought this blower last week and let me tell you the power is crazy but its more lighter thanks to the carbon fiber frame and its such a beast and I will say its powerful light and one thing wear hearing protection because its at 79 decibels and it has a metal wear ring witch is helpful 🙂 and the padding is really comfy and I have never had a back pack blower with a fan in it and its amazing will recommend this blower
